Lyrics

Grief
Like water
Running over a riverbed
Picking up silt
Like blocks in the past
Look at how they reshape the shoreline

It isn’t wise
To go on living like
Everything’s fine
From time to time
That waterline
Baby it’s gotta rise

Death in the dawning of the spring
A catalyst anchoring
I see you close your eyes when you sing
Then they open wide when you tell me
All about your dreams

I see your mouth
Drawling south
When you set the sobbing free
All emotion
Like rivers to an ocean
Coursing through our bodies
You can’t escape
The constant reminder
When your heart is broken left out in an open
Field

Death in the dawning of the spring
A catalyst anchoring
I see you close your eyes when you sing
Then they open wide when you tell me
All about death in the dawning of the spring
A catalyst anchoring
I see you close your eyes when you kiss me
Then they open wide when you tell me
All about grief
